HC Deb 05 December 1978 vol 959 cc582-3W
64. Mr. Tom Ellis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether a grant has been made available under section 63 of the Health Act to provide postgraduate medical courses in transcendental meditation.

Mr. Moyle:

The Department makes funds available under section 63 of the Health Services and Public Health Act to postgraduate medical deans to spend as they think appropriate on educational activities for general practitioners in their regions. I understand that two courses in transcendental meditation have received limited approval recently so that, while no contribution was made towards the course costs, doctors who attended could claim travelling and subsistence allowance.
